Adding a GLN to an Address Book Record

Access the Global Location Number Maintenance form.

Global Location Number

Enter a value for global location number. You manually enter the GLN provided to you by an external customer or vendor. If you enter a value with less than 13 digits, the system adds preceding zeroes to complete the GLN value.

If you manually enter a duplicate GLN, the system performs a validation check and displays an error message indicating that you are attempting to enter a duplicate GLN.

Generate Internal GLN

Click the Generate Internal GLN button to generate a GLN for address book numbers associated with internal business units, locations, and so on. To use the Generate Internal GLN option, you must set up your GS1 Company Prefix in UDC table 47/LN. The system uses this prefix along with next number functionality to assign internal GLNs to locations, business units, and so on.
